The most beautiful castle in the Malé Karpaty mountains, situated just several tens of kilometres from the Capital Bratislava is one of the best preserved Slovak Castles – Červený Kameň. In the 16th century, it was rebuilt into a bulky fortress with a fortification system that was then one of the top military-defensive systems. It is named after the red color of the quartzite on which it was built, is situated near the settlement called Pila. We visited the castle a few times, and now a penguin stone resides within its walls. You have to waddle around the castle to find it.
